What is ColdFusion?

EotW Adobe User Groups Breakfast

September 18, 2009

Seeing as Flex/ColdFusion/hardware wizard Justin Mclean was going to be in Perth for the Edge of the Web conference, along with Adobe Australia personnel Mark Szulc and Andrew Spaulding, we thought we'd make an event of it! And what better than a geeky breakfast in one of Perth's top cafes?

We need to know how many are coming so we can warn the venue, so please RSVP as soon as you can

 Hope to see you there!

Not one, but TWO ColdFusion conferences in Australia

February 18, 2009

webdu 2008Proving that ColdFusion is not only alive and well but flourishing, there are now two conferences with ColdFusion content in Australia.

WebDU dates for 2009 have been announced: 21-22 May in Sydney. Now in it's seventh year, WebDU has a long history of providing great content and this year is sure to be a ripper with a new version of ColdFusion, codenamed Centaur, speculated to be released to public beta sometime before the conference. WebDU has five tracks, so as well as ColdFusion you can catch sessions on Flash, Flex, Mobile Development, Web Development, and User Experience.

Although still incomplete, the speaker list and agenda are available, as are early bird tickets (only until the 28th of February however, so don't delay).

New to our hemisphere is cf.Objective(ANZ), the Enterprise ColdFusion conference which has been running in the US for the past few years, to be held in Melbourne 12-13 November. This conference is targeted at developers looking for in-depth coverage of advanced ColdFusion topics.

Tickets, speakers and agendas are still to be announced but this is definitely one to keep an eye on.

Special guest for delayed October meeting

October 28, 2008

Kai KoenigOur October meeting has been pushed back into early November, but for good reason: we have a special guest speaker, Kai Koenig.

Kai, who now lives in Wellington, New Zealand, is in Perth for the Edge of the Web conference, where he will be presenting a session on Adobe AIR on Thursday the 6th November, as well as running a half-day AIR bootcamp workshop on Friday the 7th November.

Kai will also be in attendence at the 2008 WA Web Awards dinner on the Friday night, cheering on the CFUGWA web site, which is a finalist in the not-for-profit category.

At the CFUGWA meeting on Tuesday the 4th of November, Kai will be presenting on PDF handling in ColdFusion 8, which he promises is way more interesting than it sounds! In particular, Kai will run over the things that CF8 can do on its own, and the things that you will need to purchase Adobe LiveCycle ES to accomplish. 

This is a not-to-be missed meeting!
